ABSTRACT
The university as the home of higher education has always faced challenges in history. We would like to discover the challenges in our time. Since the university is a part of the general education, in order to discover these challenges we must try to understand the nature of education, which can broadly be understood as a “process of acquiring knowledge.” For in the actual sense education consists of learning and teaching. The former is acquiring knowledge and the latter is imparting knowledge. In that case both teaching and learning are processes of knowledge. But since the aim of education is learning then our attention must be on this aspect. Therefore, if we analyse the nature of learning as the process of acquiring knowledge we may at the same time discover the real nature of education. This way I am hoping at the same time to develop more effective methods of teaching in education.
